Chapter 133 Chapter 133 Chapter 40
Ruoruo didn't care about these little things. She seemed to be lost in thought as she was looking at Baili Qing who was sitting at the top.
Yu and Chen looked over together and found that this Baili Sect Master was indeed quite deceptive. He was dressed in white with some blue in it, and looked like an immortal. He was so otherworldly that he could not pretend to be that way at any time. So he could only try to block Ruoruo's sight without making a sound.
Little did she know that Ruo Ruo was just calculating in her heart when the stolen luck could be returned.
But thinking about it, if Yuan Rui were to lose to Bai Kang in this joint competition, that would be enough. After all, this joint competition had so many people gathered? Plus, this was the crucial moment for Yuan Rui's life-changing. If Yuan Rui failed this time, the life-changing technique would be over.
[But neither Shuiying nor Bailiqing would let Yuanrui fail so easily, especially Shuiying...]
Ruo Ruo glanced at the people around her and asked 439, "Those things I asked you to keep can now be put back into your interspatial ring."
That was an object that would trigger a reaction in the original owner, so Ruoruo had the system temporarily put it away before returning to this world.
[But this won’t make those people…]
[No, people always cherish things they've lost more, and because of that cherishment, they also have a better sense of propriety. After fifty years, someone will always figure things out, especially with a child this old here.]
If you can't figure it out, there's no point in wasting time.
Sometimes, it doesn't matter who the child belongs to; what matters is who can make her and the child acknowledge each other. She thought, there will always be someone who can recognize this reality.
What's more, even if no one can help Bai Kang, she will still be there in the end. She once stockpiled countless props. Even in such a world of cultivation, she can always find something useful to use. It's just that sometimes she feels it's unnecessary.
…
The joint competition began with the nods of Baili Qing and Shui Ying. This kind of competition has a long history, so there is naturally a lot of past experience. The competition process is very clear, which is much clearer than the accommodation arranged by Qianshan Sect.
The former Gu Qifan and now Bai Kang are still rare leaders even among the younger generations of so many sects.
However, his victory was accompanied by the ugly expressions of the people in Qianshan Sect. Although there were some young disciples who were happy for him, most of them still had eyes full of resentment.
Especially when the disciples of Yuding Sect were cheering for Bai Kang's victory, those of Qianshan Sect who knew this eldest senior brother couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.
Huo Ling'er was particularly troubled. She'd been reminiscing about the past, and when she felt unhappy, she'd subconsciously headed towards her senior brother's residence, only to realize that she'd been so lost in thought that she'd done many things that contradicted her previous fantasies. And the eldest senior brother... he was probably also responsible for Grandpa's death. It seemed they could never return to those carefree days.
And Yuanrui didn't seem to be the person she knew. After being recognized by his master and mistress, he seemed to have become a different person in an instant, no longer as gentle as before. Or perhaps, it was not until this moment that she truly realized that perhaps Yuanrui's gentleness in the past was all a disguise. Now that her grandfather is gone, Yuanrui's life experience has been revealed, either openly or secretly, so he naturally doesn't need to pretend to be nice to her.
Her current situation was dire. Her master's attention was no longer focused on the affairs of the Qianshan Sect, let alone his own reputation, and he was instead searching for that beautiful woman. As for her master's wife... ever since Yuanrui became her disciple, she and Yuanrui had privately acknowledged each other and had devoted all her attention to him, even harboring a subtle resentment towards her. This resentment was subtle, yet it left her speechless. It also made her begin to understand the pain her former senior brother had felt.
It seemed as if the master's wife always wanted to secretly target someone, but when she treated the eldest senior brother like that in the past, she didn't take it seriously. But now she could really feel it.
Yuan Rui also participated in this competition, firstly because of Shui Ying's secret manipulation, and secondly because his age was just right. Although his talent was not that good and his cultivation was not that high, as a disciple accepted by Shui Ying for Baili Qing, he still had this place.
As for whether this action would cause speculation in the minds of the disciples present that day, Shui Ying no longer cared about that. Baili Qing almost didn't acknowledge this son, and didn't acknowledge their past calculations. Everything she did seemed to be becoming a joke. She could only pin all her hopes on Yuan Rui being able to defeat Gu Qifan, the bastard, in this joint competition.
As long as her son could win, everything else was insignificant; it just required her to put in more effort to build momentum. In the teachings she had received, the truth was always the least important thing to mention.
What if someone knew the truth? What if someone started to doubt it? As long as she was the final winner, she would be the one to write everything.
As for those disciples who had heard the truth, the most they could do was to shut up forever. Not to mention, there were many ways to silence someone.
But what shocked Shuiying the most was that the bastard Gu Qifan not only did not come back in disgrace to beg for forgiveness, but instead transformed himself and borrowed the name of Yuding Sect to participate in the competition.
But soon a sarcastic smile appeared in the corners of her eyes. After all, it was obvious that the bitch her husband was obsessed with had already hooked up with other men. Gu Qifan was probably able to use the name of Yuding Sect only because of Mudan's face.
But so what? In just a few days, how much deeper could anyone else feel for Mudan? It was nothing more than a lust for her beauty. Not to mention whether the Second Young Master of the Yuding Sect knew that Gu Qifan was Mudan's child.
She didn't believe that a face alone could make such a gifted child willingly become her stepfather. She also didn't believe that such a gifted child could accept Mudan's background and experience without any reservations.
Of course, although she had also stayed in Chunxiang Pavilion, in her heart she was different from those lowly mortals.

On the surface, the competition seemed to be proceeding normally. Besides Bai Kang's continuous victories, Yuan Rui also had no defeats. However, compared with Bai Kang's battles, those who paid close attention could easily see that Yuan Rui's victories were all due to luck.
It is obvious that someone with ordinary cultivation level should not be able to participate in the competition, but he was lucky enough to win two games in one day.
It’s just that there are a lot of people participating in the competition now, and everyone always likes to pay attention to outstanding people. The actual competitions are located in different areas, so no one pays much attention to Yuanrui’s victory.
The competition cannot be completed in one day. When Ruoruo, Yu and Chen were about to leave, Baili Qing hurriedly stopped them and asked them if they wanted to stay in Qianshan Sect.
Ruo Ruo didn't say anything. Instead, Yu Hechen looked at Baili Qing warily and spoke with hostility, "Master Baili, would you like to settle those who have chosen to stay in your Qianshan Sect first?"
After saying that, he carefully protected Ruoruo and left.
Baili Qing didn't understand what he meant. After asking someone to check, she realized that she had already lost face without knowing it. Shui Ying, the wife of the sect leader, couldn't even arrange such a small matter as accommodation.
You know, which sect in charge of the joint competition didn't arrange this kind of thing perfectly? In hundreds of years, where else had such a shameful thing happened?
"If you don't know how, you can instruct others to do it. Fan... Even if Fan'er is not here, Ling'er can do these things well!" Baili Qing rubbed his eyebrows, no longer the cold look he showed in front of outsiders.
Shui Ying sneered, "You make it sound so easy, but why don't you make your own arrangements, husband? At least I've been doing my best to plan for our son, but what about you? Your heart is almost seduced by that bitch Mudan and that bastard Gu Qifan!"
Baili Qing frowned even deeper, as if he had just met Shuiying for the first time. Is this person who keeps calling her a bitch and a bastard really the gentle Shuiying of the past?
Even though Shui Ying's personality became more and more depressed day by day after she used a secret method to disfigure herself, and she could even be said to be moody, in Baili Qing's impression, she was still gentle and considerate. At most, she was easily angry with Gu Qifan, but after each anger, she was filled with endless guilt, and Baili Qing felt distressed because of this.
But now Baili Qing suddenly began to doubt herself. Could someone so foul-mouthed truly feel guilty for hurting others? Her curses didn't seem impulsive, but rather like sincere words long hidden in her heart. Furthermore, considering her current expression, Baili Qing sighed, not wanting to say more.
"Baili Qing, stop!"
"Every time you encounter a problem, you choose to leave. Do you still regard Rui'er as your child? Do you really still care about us, mother and son?"
When Shui Ying saw Baili Qing looking away, she became enraged and questioned him like crazy.
Baili Qing often had this expression in the past, and every time, it made her scars more painful.
But in the past, Gu Qifan was there to vent his anger, so Baili Qing could leave smoothly or stay out of it. But now, all the resentment in Shui Ying's heart was directed at Baili Qing.
"Don't forget, for whom did I become what I am today! If you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have given birth to such a hapless star! And now you're so eager to please Mudan, why didn't you choose to bring that little bitch back? Why did you choose to bring me back?"
"Oh, I remember now. Not only did you not choose to take her away, you even slapped her aside with a palm. Why are you regretting it now? That's such a pity. Who knows, if you had brought her back then, you might still be using her as a cauldron to play with today! You didn't know that I hated her so much back then, so I pretended to be frightened when she came forward and begged me to take her away from Chunxiang Pavilion. Back then, you could slap her away without even looking at her. Why has everything changed now?"
As she spoke, she seemed to realize her mistake and became weak again in an instant.
"Husband, can you please not be seduced by that vixen? She's been bullying me since I entered Chunxiang Pavilion. Yes! She's been bullying me since I entered Chunxiang Pavilion. You can't focus all your attention on her just because of her current appearance. You even want to disown our son. This is unfair to me and Rui'er!"
